Turner Street is a little know cul-de-sac just off picturesque Fitzroy Place. Here, within a few minutes walk to the CBD, Battery Point and Sandy Bay shopping village, you will find an elegant and spacious family home with graceful dimensions, plenty of surrounding garden space and development approval for a boutique strata development that would permit the construction of a further 3 bedroom home in this desirable, central and highly sought after location, should the new owner wish to proceed.
Upon entry, via the wide doorway adorned with beautiful lead lighting, the home's expanse is immediately evident. From the broad foyer, a large loungeroom with polished timber flooring, garden views and cosy fireplace offers a welcoming living space for the whole family.
The home's current owners have cleverly remodelled, creating a free-flowing floorplan that allows the downstairs communal spaces to interconnect with ease. An informal sitting room, combined with dining space, and the kitchen, open outside to the rear, sheltered deck.
Original circa 1911 features such as converted fireplaces with ornate mantles superbly blend with modern additions, and high ceilings soar above both the upstairs and downstairs levels.
Contemporary and roomy, the kitchen boasts ample bench and cupboard space, with the addition of in-built display shelving nearby. The culinary space is fully equipped with quality appliances, including an Omega oven and electric stovetop, rangehood, Westinghouse fridge, and a dishwasher.
Through dual entrances, the large laundry with polished concrete flooring enjoys direct access to the rear yard, sharing space with a stylish bathroom with shower, vanity, and toilet.
Alternating sunshine floods through the home, with the morning sun providing warmth to the upstairs bedrooms, retaining comfort until the downstairs living spaces, sunrooms, and study all bathe in natural afternoon sunlight.
The central staircase leads to the upper level, pausing mid-way to accommodate a sunroom, which could easily become a fifth bedroom if required. On the top floor, the four remaining bedrooms are located. Here you will find plenty of built-in storage, converted fireplaces, and stunning views across the River and suburban Sandy Bay in one direction and views to Mount Wellington in the other.
The family bathroom servicing the upper-level features classic grey floor tiles, an over-bath shower, vanity, toilet, and ample storage. Further stowage space can be found downstairs within cupboards, and under the stairs.
Outside, the expansive grounds feature established gardens dotted with fruit trees, providing a tranquil ambience amplified by the sheer size of areas to relax. An easy-care fully fenced lawn, and courtyard in addition to the sheltered deck offer a private oasis, ideal to accommodate outdoor entertaining and growing families with pets.
Security is assured with electric, remote-controlled gates and vehicles are housed safely within the carport with ample off-street parking also available within the driveway's side entrance. Under-deck storage is also accessible, along with a lock-up for recreational equipment.
Spilling over two generous levels, within close proximity to some of Hobart's best schools, restaurants, shops, and services, and with scope to further develop, this exceptionally well-maintained family home presents a quality lifestyle of comfort and convenience and if the somewhat unique development capacity of the property further interests you, simply contact us and we can forward you copies of the approved drawings.
